This is a list of favorite feature films that have fewer than 400 checks on iCheckMovies.com as of 23 September 2016. This is a "favorites" list, not a "best / most worthy of critical acclaim" list. I've chosen to include shorts separately, at the end of the list. TV films and miniseries are included, but not full TV series.

These are all films I really like, but all films that I find personally depressing. They are ranked (roughly!!) not in the order in which I like them, but in the order of ability to depress me. They're all highly recommended, depressing or not! This list was created for the Unofficial iCheckMovies Forum's "Favourite Depressing Films" poll.

Includes feature films, TV films, and a smattering of miniseries. This is a "favorite" list, not a "best / most worthy of critical acclaim" list. The very top films don't tend to shift rankings very far, but the lower half to two-thirds can vacillate a lot, depending on the day...

This is a "favorites" list, not a "best / most worthy of critical acclaim" list; there would be overlap between the two, but the rankings would be very different in some cases. I've limited to my top 200; some rankings would vary depending on the day.

This is a "favorite" list, not a "best / most worthy of critical acclaim" list. I had to watch at least three films from each director (often many more) for inclusion. Many of the specific rankings vary by the day.

Some of these films are obviously Christmas movies. Others have only one key act or scene set during the season, but those scenes are memorable to me. Many of these "one-scene" films are also tied thematically to key concepts in the Christmas season -- the power of birth and children, flight and shelter of the innocent (including the Herod portion of the story), and the value of peace and fellowship. That's why I rank films like Night of the Hunter, Frozen River, and 3 Godfathers here, not just because the films have scenes that occur during the season.
